"from the dealer or online"

No MB dealers near here, unfortunately. And my Chrysler dealer is one that was shut down recently. Doh!

So mailorder ... I asked the guys where I used to mailorder my BMW parts (Bavarian Autosport) and they recommended Performance Products of California for MB parts:

Mercedes Parts and Accessories – Mercedes Wheels, Car Covers, Floor Mats, Steering Wheels and More from Performance Products:

Any experience with them?

Or know of other great mailorder MB and/or XF OEM parts dealers?

I requested a PP MB catalog, and even suggested to them that there is a need for a similar XF catalog. No response yet, but given that Diamler got burned on the D+C merger, I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is a resounding "Mein Gott, Nein!"

I got one from my Chrysler dealer, they ordered it and I picked it up after three days or so, $5 Canadian.

My biggest recommendation is if you still have them or if you just got replacements, pop them off, clean up behind them and then take a dab of silicone and put it inside the cap so it is silicone'd to the bolt below so they don't come off in the future. The silicone is easy enough to remove should you need to actually remove your wiper arm but it will hold those little caps on there like nobody's business. I think a few guys tried to swipe mine out in Carlisle but couldn't get them off. LOL You two know who you are!

Still looking for one of these, but now also see I need one of the black grommets that goes between the wiper pivot (shaft) and the plastic cowl cover. Anyone parting out their crunched XF?

I paid about $5 for the black cover at the dealership, they ordered it in. I am sure the other part is available as well, just pay them and its yours.

" at the dealership"

If I had one -- was closed as part of the bankruptcy. Long way to the nearest.
